Risk Matrix and how to use:

		Risk likelihood
Risk Rating	x	1	2	3
1	1	2	3
2	2	4	6
3	3	6	9

To find the overall risk, you multiply the risk rating by the likelyhood of it happening to make the overall danger rating. If green then it is a minimal risk and someone isn’t likely to get hurt when it occurs. Orange is of a greater risk and someone is likely to get hurt or injured if it occurs and red is where the injury/outcome is likely to be severe if it occurred.
